Don Fitz, Green Party National Committee Member in charge of Platform Development announced Friday that:

"At long last, The Green Party platform has entered the 21st Century by endorsing the immediate use of metric measurements on all signage and specifications such as miles per gallon, which would become kilometers per liter.

Conversion to metric would allow mechanics and researchers to purchase and acquaint themselves with only one set of wrenches and other tools, among a multitude of other efficiencies.

If the British can make the necessary efforts and adjustments to drive on the same side of the road as most of the world, we can make the investments in retooling and education needed to fully and quickly abandon all traces of the old British measurement system and fully adopt the metric system.

We also advocate the abolishment of the disruptive Daylight Savings Time, and have endorsed the adoption of nooalf spelling in all public schools."
